Well heard the cave and little lion man to death. And my boyfriend gave me the album to get into but everytime I tried to listen to it I cringed and turned it off Bleugh. Guess its just not my thing!

+1 to your boyfriend if you happen to see them at a festival or something similar, you'll notice how good they are.

ANYWAY, we're a bit off topic and I don't want another infraction

Could the band play some warm-up shows in late august or just early september?

Although Cave and Little Lion Man have been played to death, yes. Of course, I don't bother with the radio anymore, so

Back on topic, is it possible they do what Linkin park did and play a few shows before release? This is the first album build up I've experienced so I really don't know.

Meh his music taste is awful. That's the only 'good' band he listens to, the rest is neddy beats

Would we not know by now if they were going to?

I would have thought so.

They did these warm-up shows since Abso, I think (probably even before). The few pre-album gigs in the TR era were announced in August, so probably they'll do some.

(That's all I have to add.)

When are they likely to announce the stage design? After the album release I'm assuming.

Im sure it's one of the many things we'll find out during the loads of interviews set to come out next month.

This is what I thought, they might try and describe it in interviews but I don't think we'll actually see it until the tour starts.

You only really know what it looks like when date one comes along. I think Bellamy wanted a lot more on the arena tour then they got and as a result talked a lot about getting a bigger production than just the towers, which were still pretty big.

Yeh it's just going to get bigger and bigger until the heath and safety give in and give Matt what he wants....

Dom in the NME interview said they might bring to stadiums in 2013 "this big upside-down all-seeing eye all made out of video, maybe a big pyramid that can expand and contract and turn inside out and move around".

Sounds a little bit like what they wanted The Resistance stadium tour to be. Would be impressive, but still have an air of being recycled...

That description does sound very similar to the TR stadium tour stage, to be honest. Still sounds like they aren't up for going for (fairly) simple but effective stages like L/R or HAARP, which is a shame.
